Separation of boosters for parallel-stage model rockets

Hi Everyone,

In Harry Stine's "Handbook of Model Rocketry" there is a very brief description of parallel staging in Chapter 11. I have tried to find out more about the techniques that are available for separating parallel-staged boosters from the core vehicle, but have unable to find anything so far. Does anyone have some information that may be useful? I am thinking about building a rocket with separating boosters such as the Bloodhound.

Thanks for your help,
